I don't see any official list on nycbug.org so I guess you didn't
succeed or the decision was made not to disclose it. Netcraft.com can
be a good source of information; at least for the www servers running
FreeBSD, but I'm sure you already used it.

Yes, I would like to catalog FreeBSD shops in NYC area, (1) for
general information as to the scale of FreeBSD adoption and deployment
of FreeBSD servers in the NYC, and (2) as a New Yorker but not
currently living in NY, I'm definetly interested in any opportunities
for FreeBSD sysadmin work in the NYC.

George, I think that such a list on nycbug.org would be beneficial to
many. Not only it would point possible customers interested in BSD
solutions to the right places, but also it would showcase that BSD
presence in the NYC is strong and widespread.
